Consumer Electronics Show 2002 Report

An anonymous reader writes "I've noticed that Target PC posted their report on this year's Consumer Eletronics Show in Las Vegas. Looks like 2002 will be the year of wireless networking and recordable DVD. In the same article they cover Samsung's upcoming portable computer based on the StrongARM 206MHz processor that will be available in 2Q." Many wireless products (including 802.11a), huge LCD displays, and more -- I hope people who were at the show can comment on the things missed in this report, or in The Washington Posts's report.

Mark Weiser on "Ubiquitous Computing"

[SimHacker]

Here is a link to some messages from 1991-1992 between Mark Weiser and myself, which I posted to slashdot earlier, in the thread about Xerox's patent infringement case against Graffiti.

We were discussing user interface design for handheld computers, handwriting input and pie menus.

It feels great to have finally put pie menus into ConnectedTV on handheld Palm computers, after just talking about it for 10 years.

They're called "Finger Pies", because using the penis not necessary!
